[Reward obtained: Intermediate Immortal Sect Upgrade Card ×1]

[Intermediate Immortal Sect Upgrade Card: Can upgrade a Sect to an Intermediate Sect, one-click upgrade, safe and painless!]

...[Reward obtained: Great Emperor Realm Permanent Upgrade Card ×1]

...[Reward obtained: ten thousand immortals illustrated record ×1]

[ten thousand immortals illustrated record: There are thousands of Daos, and all can lead to Immortal Ascension! It contains ten thousand types of Great Daos, every single one leading to the Immortal Gate! The Host can arbitrarily select disciples to join the Immortal ranks; the chosen ones will comprehend the true essence of one of the Great Daos, gain the favor of the Dao, and their cultivation speed will increase significantly! At the same time, the chosen ones will remain eternally loyal to the Host!]

...[Reward obtained: Various Spirit Stones, Magic Treasures, Medicinal Pills...]

...There were only three core rewards, but each one made Lin Chen's throat move as he unconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Especially the last one, the ten thousand immortals illustrated record.

Lin Chen looked carefully at the description; it was roughly similar to an Immortal-making factory. As long as he threw the disciples of the Wending Sect into this factory, it wouldn't be long before they came out as Immortals.

In other words... Lin Chen could mass-produce Immortals!

As for whether they would be Earth Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, or True Immortals?

It didn't explicitly say here, but at the very least, they would be Earth Immortals!

"Ah, this..."

Seeing this, Lin Chen found that this ten thousand immortals illustrated record was simply Heaven-Defying.

A single Earth Immortal could sweep through the Cangxuan Realm. If there were ten thousand... it was simply unimaginable!

What if they were True Immortals?

Wouldn't that mean that even in Lingxuan Heaven, the Wending Sect would be a regional hegemon!

Lin Chen was incredibly moved and shouted, "System! Quick, quick, quick, throw me into the ten thousand immortals illustrated record, I want to claim the best spot first!"

[Ding!]

[Your request has been denied...]

[The ten thousand immortals illustrated record is only applicable to the internal disciples of the Wending Sect and is ineffective for anyone else, including the Host.]

"...Ah?"

"Isn't this just cheating me!"

With such a good thing that he couldn't use himself, Lin Chen immediately beat his chest and stomped his feet, cursing the dog System.

But life had to go on.

After a long time, Lin Chen finally calmed his emotions, sighed, and said helplessly, "Use the Great Emperor Realm Permanent Upgrade Card!"

Buzz—!

A warm and vast golden pillar of light descended from the sky, instantly merging into Lin Chen's limbs and bones, rushing straight into his Dantian's Dao Foundation and his Sea of Consciousness's Divine Soul!

There was no world-shaking roar, but a world-shaping upheaval was occurring within Lin Chen's body!

His Dantian Qi Sea, which was already like a vast nebula, was now under the impact of the golden torrent, causing the nebula to spin, collapse, and undergo a qualitative change!

Finally, it condensed into a Great Emperor Dao Fruit with a Chaos color and surrounded by Dao charms!

The moment the Dao Fruit formed, it was as if a miniature Universe was born within his body, containing infinite power and Laws!

His Sea of Consciousness's Divine Soul, which was like a golden ocean, now set off towering waves as the essence of his soul was frantically condensed and sublimated... His Physical Body, every inch of skin, every drop of blood, and every bone, was being frantically tempered, expelling the last trace of Impurities, transforming toward a flawless and indestructible Emperor Body!

...An unknown amount of time passed, perhaps a day, perhaps a year.

When Lin Chen opened his eyes again, his eyes were as deep as the vast Universe, with stars flickering and dying within them.

An aura of a Great Emperor that stood above all living beings, controlling Laws and making words into reality, naturally spread out... Peak Great Emperor!

[Ding!]

[Great Emperor Realm Permanent Upgrade Card used successfully!]

[Congratulations to the Host for breaking through to the Peak Great Emperor!]

"Whew—"

Lin Chen let out a long breath.

"Is this the Peak Great Emperor?"

The end of cultivation for all living beings in the Cangxuan Realm had been reached so easily; Lin Chen still felt it was a bit unreal.

No Lightning Tribulation descended because he himself was the Heavenly Dao.

He couldn't exactly strike himself, could he?

Lin Chen slowly stood up, feeling the infinite power within him that surged like a sea of stars and could determine the fate of mountains and rivers with a single thought, a satisfied curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, he didn't need any external force; by himself, he could easily suppress the previous Qing Ming Old Ancestor, and even the Late Stage Earth Immortal Nine Infant Demon Venerable, if resurrected now, would have the crap beaten out of him!

Yes, he was just that powerful!

Meanwhile, his Peak Earth Immortal cultivation had dissipated at some point; it seemed the time limit had expired.

"Uh..."

It had to be said, Lin Chen really did miss that incredibly powerful feeling.

However, it was just a trial after all; it was fine if it was gone!

Now there were still two rewards left unused.

With this thought, Lin Chen took a step forward and returned to the Wending Sect.

By now, the Demon-Burying Myriad Heavens Formation had been removed, and all traces of the battle had been smoothed over. Inside and outside the Wending Sect was a scene full of vitality, with gentle sunlight spilling down, making the Wending Sect look as if it were draped in a faint gauze garment.

"Sect Master, you're finally back!"

As soon as he returned to the Wending Sect, Li Tiangang, Chu Nansheng, Yu Xuanji, and others gathered around.

Upon inquiry, Lin Chen learned that a month had passed since he left the battlefield. Huyan Bao had been torn to pieces by the angry crowd, leaving no remains, and many forces, having survived the disaster, were in a hurry to return and rebuild their homes.

Chu Nansheng had not stopped them, taking it upon herself to let them go back.

"Sect Master, you won't blame me, will you?"

Chu Nansheng was a bit anxious and added: "But all these forces expressed their sincerity; they will forever be affiliated forces of the Wending Sect, and as long as the Wending Sect has orders, they will never refuse!"

"It's a small matter."

Lin Chen waved his hand, not angry at all. Instead, he felt Chu Nansheng had done the right thing. If tens of millions of people were staying at the Wending Sect, he would find it a burden, and it would not be conducive to his next step of upgrading the Sect.

"Revered Master, what Realm... were you at before?"

"Yeah, Sect Master, how did you suddenly become so powerful?"

"When you faced the Nine Infant Demon Venerable alone, Sect Master, you really scared everyone to death!"

"..."

The crowd was in an uproar, extremely curious about Lin Chen's Realm.

"That Realm is called the Earth Immortal Stage..."

Lin Chen patiently gave everyone a lesson on things beyond the Cangxuan Realm, including the Turbulent Star Domain and Lingxuan Heaven... above the Great Emperor, there are several Realms like Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, and True Immortal, and that Nine Infant Demon Venerable was at the Late Stage Earth Immortal... but as for why he suddenly reached the Peak Earth Immortal, Lin Chen did not explain much.

He smilingly asked Yu Xuanji: "Have you managed to deduce anything?"

"...Well, I couldn't deduce it either."

Yu Xuanji rarely showed embarrassment.

He had indeed tried to deduce the heavenly secrets, but he only saw a blur and couldn't deduce anything.

"Sect Master, just tell us, everyone is dying of curiosity!"

"It's a secret."

Lin Chen was unwilling to dwell on this question and quickly changed the subject.

"Chu Nansheng."

"Present."

"Temporarily evacuate everyone to a hundred thousand miles away!"

"Sect Master, can I ask why?"

Chu Nansheng was a bit confused; for the Sect Master to suddenly request this, there had to be a reason!

Lin Chen chuckled: "This Sect Master is going to use a little trick to give the Wending Sect a small upgrade!"
